Instruction

About

Instruction is a clicker game where you manage a power plant to meet energy quotas. You switch between systems like turbines and reactors, each with distinct mechanics and upgrade paths. A gruff AI guide named I.M.P. offers tips but has a quirky personality that clashes with the plant’s strict goals. Gameplay loops around resource management and incremental upgrades, balanced with light story beats delivered through the AI’s sarcastic commentary. The game stands out for its dry humor and how it weaves character into a genre often focused on repetition. I.M.P.’s evolving interactions add depth, making upgrades feel like part of a larger narrative. Released in early 2024, it’s a short but polished experience that uses simple mechanics to explore workplace dynamics and AI ethics. Players spend more time laughing at the AI’s attitude than worrying about the power grid.
